This Damned Thirst for Survival
chapter-229-30041322

Real Men Chi You couldn't get a hard-on after all.

He stood by the bedside with a grimace on his face, trying to recover. Jiang Luo's voice trembled with laughter as he said many words of concern for Chi You, and finally he drifted off to sleep with the evil spirit's ugly face.

Jiang Luo laughed several times in the middle of the night and woke up in the morning with a hard laugh. But when he opened his eyes, there was a face of an evil spirit in front of him that was extremely close.

Jiang Luo was startled and immediately snapped out of it, "Fuck, why are you so close to me?"

The evil spirit looked at Jiang Luo with a meaningful look in his eyes that made people feel creepy. Jiang Luo had a bad feeling and subconsciously looked down, but the thing had already been removed.

"What are you looking for?" The evil spirit asked gently, the pale, slender fingertips of his right hand picking up something transparent, "Is it this thing you're looking for?"

Jiang Luo screamed in his heart that he was finished, Chi You had found out what he had done.

In order to get an ugly picture of Chi You, Jiang Luo wrote the word "shrivel" on the sleeve with a character spirit.

His eyelids fluttered and he snorted, "No, what am I looking for? By the way, what time is it? I've got work to do, I've got to get up and go to work."

He made a move to get up, but the evil spirit didn't move at all, blocking his way like a stone wall. Jiang Luo pushed a few times, his eyes wavering with fear, "What do you want?"

"Jiang, last night your concern for whether my body can still be used or not touched my teacher," the evil ghost's pale face was covered with eyes as dark as an abyss, the corners of his mouth curled up, "since you are so worried about me, now that my body is well, how can you not try it yourself? "

Jiang Luo refused in all seriousness, "Stop it, I have to go to work and I'll be late."

The evil spirit didn't move a muscle, determined to prove to Jiang Luo his true manly pride.

Jiang Luo coughed twice, rather like he was getting into trouble, "I really can't, I really can't be late."

"Then what should I do?" The evil spirit's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Could it be that your words of concern for me last night were all a lie?"

After gloating, it's really time to roll over.

Jiang Luo smiled sardonically and waved his hand in front of Chi You's face, "Can I use this? I have a maximum of thirty minutes."

"Thirty minutes?" The evil spirit sneered twice, "I can barely use your hand if you promise me one condition."

Fuck it.

Take it or leave it, I'm done with it.

Jiang Luo was tempted to say so, but could not resist the smiling look on Chi You's face and the clear "incriminating evidence" on his fingertips, so he cleared his throat and asked, "What are the conditions?"

Chi You said, "Grant my application for an interview."

Jiang Luo frowned and asked rhetorically, "Why did you have to go into the Research Bureau?"

He did not want to agree with Chi You's decision. The Bureau of Scientific Research was the place to deal with metaphysical events, and the evil spirits were the strongest of the hundred, humans and evil spirits were on two extremes. Like water and fire are incompatible, once one has infiltrated the power of the other, neither is pure anymore.

Chi You must have a reason for wanting to enter the Research Council, but what could it be?

Was it ambition, or was it because of him?

Jiang Luo's voice suddenly softened and she whispered, "You don't want to commute with me, do you?"

With his mouth full, his hands didn't forget to tuck under the covers.

In any case, Jiang Luo had to dispel Chi You's desire to get into the research bureau. Fortunately, evil spirits are easily distracted in this regard.

......

When it was over, Jiang Luo ran to the bathroom to wash up.

The evil spirit was pressed against his back like a humanoid cold air conditioner, a chill running down his spine and into his limbs. He lazily gathers Jiang Luo in his arms, his brow filled with an unfulfilled look of displeasure.

The water from the wash wet Jiang Luo's hair on his forehead, and the evil spirit kindly clutched all his hair in his hands, picked up a strand and smiled, "It's falling out."

"Hmm?" Jiang Luo looked up at the mirror.

The strand of hair he had picked up had some of the black washed out of the roots, faintly revealing its original white colour.

Jiang Luo rolled his eyes, "Who's to blame for that?"

Chi You laughed, "Isn't it beautiful?"

After Jiang Luo had washed up and the others had cleaned themselves up, they were sent out of the ghost town as they were in the ghost palanquin.

On the road, several of the men who had been drunk last night had messy clothes and dull faces.

They tried to think of their memories from last night, but they were so drunk that they were disconnected and the images were disjointed.

But I have to say, they were pretty awesome.

I can't believe they actually slept in a ghost town overnight!

When we got back to the Research Bureau, Jiang Luo was surrounded by a group of people who asked, "Jiang Luo, did we say anything nonsense last night when we were drunk?"

"Why do I remember going to talk to Chi You? It must have been a dream I had when I was drunk."

"Who sent us back to our room? It couldn't have been those lady ghosts ......"

Jiang Luo took out the key and opened the door, saying calmly, "Nonsense, you went to Chi You, it's the ghost lady."

There was a few seconds of silence before a wail went up from the crowd.

It was still a day of interviews, but I don't know if it was Jiang Luo's words with Chi You that made the difference, but by the end of the interview, Jiang Luo hadn't seen anyone with Chi You's skin in the interview pool. He was really relieved, but when the end of the day came, he was called to a meeting.

Today, Tian Shifu is the only one left in the metaphysical community, and his reputation is so strong that he is well known both inside and outside his circle. As long as Tian Shifu does not accept the state's arrangements, there are people in the occult community who will not accept the state's control. The leaders were here for this very reason. They sent someone to act as a lobbyist to talk to Tian Shifu about cooperation, but the other side simply refused.

The leaders called Jiang Luo because they had heard that Jiang Luo was once Feng Li's disciple and wanted to ask Jiang Luo if he could convince Feng Li to defect.

Jiang Luo's expression was light and unchanged as he said, "Feng Li is a stubborn and old-fashioned person who does not like new things or changes. To be honest with you, it would be very difficult to convince him to accept the state's arrangements and change Tian Shifu's livelihood."

It was not that he could not use word spirits to command people, but such a practice would be no different from the use of speech spirits to hypnotise people by the Predestined, and Jiang Luo did not intend to use word spirits on others unless he was dealing with the most treacherous and evil people and Chi You.

The potential of psychic magic is too powerful, and the less people know about it, the better.

The leader worried, "What should I do then? Tian Shifu is the last barrier to the metaphysical community, and as long as it can accept state control, the rest will be much easier."

Jiang Luo pondered for a moment, "It's not that we can't cooperate. Feng Tianshifu holds Tian Shifu in high regard, and now that only Tian Shifu is left in the Six Great Houses, the situation is not very good. Even for the sake of Tian Shifu's future, he should have a talk with us, and I think he is also watching the current situation, watching for changes in the Jokhang Temple and the Zhuo House."

After the war, Feng Li killed Ji Yaozi and left Jokhang Temple alone. Jiang Luo had never seen him before, but with all the action the Bureau had taken, it was unreasonable for Tian Shifu to remain quiet and unmoved by the outside world. Jiang Luo feels as if Feng Li is waiting for them to come to him.

At this point in time, whoever can wait patiently will have the initiative. If there was enough time, the Research Council would of course have had the patience to wait it out with Tian Shifu. But Tian Shifu's reputation is so great that both inside and outside his circle have great faith in his abilities, his disciples are numerous and his clients are more prestigious than ever. Tian Shifu clearly has an advantage over the newly born research bureau. If Feng Li really wanted to wait, he would have had the ability to spend time with the Research Bureau, which would have taken years at least.

At a time like this, it was obvious that Feng Li was the best way to convince him. The leader said hesitantly, "Is it true that we can't talk about it?"

Jiang Luo smiled, "Actually, we can try it first. Whether it works or not, if we talk to Tian Shifu, we can at least find out what kind of attitude Feng Tian Shi has."

"That's the point," the leader said, "then please go and talk to Tian Shifu, and bring some people who can talk with you."

Jiang Luo was true to his word and did not delay. That evening he simply took Zhuo Zhongqiu and Wen Renlian with him to Tian Shifu, which is fortunately in the middle of the city and not as far away as Lian's home.

Tian Shifu is divided into two parts, the outer courtyard is still the same as Jiang Luo saw it before, full of well-dressed guests looking for help. At a glance, most of them are faces that would appear in financial newspapers and entertainment news.

Wen Renlian sighed softly, "In high society, Tian Shifu is almost unknown."

Zhuo Zhongqiu said enviously, "No, they get a lot of orders."

"There are far fewer people in the entertainment industry than before." Jiang Luo took a closer look around, and upon closer inspection he could see that there were already a third fewer people waiting here than before, and most of the fewer were from the entertainment industry.

This has something to do with the peace talismans he sells in his circle, but since the death of the fatal man, Jiang Luo has been selling fewer of them on purpose. But hunger marketing is more profitable. The fewer the amulets, the more people grab them, and the price is in turn three to five times higher than before.

"Really?" Wen Renlian was slightly surprised, then he couldn't help but laugh, "That's a good thing. But Feng Tian Shi is not that easy to meet, Zhong Qiu, it's up to you whether we can meet him tonight."

Zhuo Zhongqiu: "No, no, no, I don't have that much face to ask the Heavenly Master to give me face. I don't think I'll be able to see the Heavenly Master, but I can still get into the inner courtyard."

Having said that, she went forward to greet the registered disciple guarding the inner and outer doors, "Hello this senior brother, I am Zhuo Zhongqiu, the fourth generation of the Zhuo family, may I see the Heavenly Master?"

The name-taking disciple sniffed at her and said without condescension, "Hello Miss Zhuo, it's too late, I can call for you if you see others, but the gentleman is already not seeing guests."

Zhuo Zhongqiu had expected this and she smiled, "Thank you, senior brother, I'll wait until tomorrow then."

Having said that, she turned her head towards her companions and shrugged, spreading her hands helplessly, " Jiang Luo, Wen Ren, I told you, the Heavenly Master is not that easy to meet."

When the disciple heard the word "Jiang Luo", he turned his head towards Jiang Luo, "Brother Jiang?

Jiang Luo looked sideways at him, and after making sure it was really Jiang Luo, the disciple hurriedly pushed open the door and said respectfully, "Brother, you want to see Sir? Please follow me."

The author has something to say.
